In their Moda Center venue, the Portland Trail Blazers host the New Orleans Pelicans as part of the NBA regular season. Humiliated at home by the Golden State Warriors during their first meeting of the 2024-2025 season, Chauncey Billups’ players will challenge a new team from the Western Conference. Expected in the bottom of the rankings like last year, the Oregon franchise will try to grab a few victories here and there between now and next April, and if it can be ahead their fans, it can only be better.
The New Orleans Pelicans display ambitions much higher than their opponents. Swept last year in the first round of the playoffs by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder, the franchise coached by Willie Green wants to qualify again for the final phase of the championship – if possible directly, unlike last year – and that necessarily involves away victories against supposedly much weaker franchises, which is Portland, their opponent of the day. Winner against the Chicago Bulls in its opening match, New Orleans has ample potential to have a record of 2 wins and 0 losses at the final whistle, even in the absence of its new playmaker Dejounte Murray , who fractured his left hand against Chicago.
